Jinhua didn't feel depressed for long. She cheered up and arranged accommodation for Dai Ping'er, Dai Chuan'er, Dai Sanlang and others.
After making this arrangement, I found that the house was small and the space was limited, so it was really difficult to make any arrangements.
The house was already a bit crowded with the addition of Lihua and Daohua, but they were Jinhua's cousins after all, so they could squeeze in with her and live in her boudoir.
But with the addition of the Dai sisters and Dai Sanlang, there was no place to accommodate them.
Originally, Mrs. Liu, who worked in the kitchen, had a small bed in the kitchen utility room that could accommodate one person, but such a filthy place was naturally not suitable for entertaining guests.
There was no choice but to disrupt the original personnel arrangements.
According to the customs in Beiguan Town, daughters and sons-in-law are not allowed to live in the same room when they return to their parents' home.
As a result, due to limited housing, Xia Youtian and Liu had to live separately.
Xia Youtian and his son-in-law Dai Sanlang lived in the couple's bedroom, while Liu and his wife Zhu, granddaughter A Liu, and niece Daohua lived in the young couple's bedroom.
The Dai sisters lived in a separate guest room.
Jinhua and Lihua still live in Jinhua's boudoir.
At first glance, this arrangement seems quite reasonable, fully taking everyone into consideration.
Lihua and Xia Daohua looked at each other and neither objected.
The dinner that day was quite sumptuous, but it seemed a little too sumptuous for a son-in-law who was reluctant to come and apologize.
Liu went to a delicatessen outside and bought half a roast goose, a pork belly with pine nuts, a pound of braised donkey meat, a set of assorted boxed dishes, a jar of rice wine, and two pounds of liquor.
Zhu steamed white rice, made scallion pancakes, fried eggs, and prepared kelp and tofu soup at home.
Xia Daohua was very satisfied and smiled happily while eating.
Since traveling through time, I have basically relied on the space supermarket for food and clothing, and there are really not many delicious foods I can eat outside.
Regardless of whether it was due to the annoying Dai family, Xia Daohua never acted pretentiously when it came to delicious food.
During the meal, Liu also suggested that since it was a happy day, everyone should have a drink.
As he spoke, he personally poured rice wine for the women in the room and liquor for the two men, Xia Youcai and Dai Sanlang.
Everyone got a share except the little baby A Liu who was still in her arms.
There was even a small bowl in front of the summer rice flowers.
Although this rice wine is called rice wine, its color is reddish.
At first glance, Xia Daohua thought that water had been added to the wine.
Curiously, she tasted a little with the tip of her tongue, trying to gauge the flavor, but she didn't dare swallow it. Instead, she picked up the bowl, pretending to drink, and raised her arm to cover it, quietly smuggling the contents of the bowl into the space.
She didn't dare put the wine anywhere else and poured it directly into the trash can in the storage area of the Space Supermarket.
Anyway, she had no intention of drinking it. Regardless of whether the wine was real wine or contained some secret, it was destined to have only one destination, which was the trash can in the storage area of the Space Supermarket.
Xia Daohua didn't drink it, but everyone except Xia Daohua and A Liu drank it.
Liu and Jinhua found excuses to force Lihua to drink two or three bowls of liquor in a row. She drank too quickly and suddenly felt a little drunk. Her eyes became a little drunken, and two red clouds appeared on her cheeks, making her even more beautiful.
Dai Sanlang's eyes widened when he saw Lihua's appearance.
When Jinhua saw this, she was so angry that she kicked Dai Sanlang under the table. Unexpectedly, she didn't kick Dai Sanlang, but kicked the table leg instead. Her big toe was almost broken and the pain made her cry.
Taking this opportunity, Jinhua burst into tears, leaving Liu and Xia Youcai so heartbroken that they didn't know what to say.
The meal, which was originally full of excitement and feasting, suddenly ended in a bad mood.
Zhu entrusted A Liu to Xia Daohua's care, and hurried to the clinic on the street to ask for a doctor who could set bones.
The doctor examined Jinhua and said with a smile that there was no need to worry too much, as Jinhua only had a bruise on her big toe and no fracture.
But you have to drink some soup and medicine at the same time, and you have to pay attention to your diet. You can't eat raw, cold and greasy food. You have to eat something light and easy to digest. You also have to use some external ointment on the wound.
In addition, you should not exert any effort on this toe these days. You need to rest peacefully and take good care of it for a few days.
Liu paid for the medical consultation and medicine out of her own pocket.
Zhu was smart and quickly took the medicine bag packed by the medicine boy and went to the kitchen to boil it immediately.
Xia Youcai personally escorted the doctor out the door.
There was a circle of people left in the room, surrounding Jinhua and asking her about her well-being. The scene was very chaotic.
Xia Daohua suddenly remembered, where did Yinhua go?
She hadn't seen the eldest wife for a long time and almost forgot that she had a second daughter named Yinhua.
Xia Daohua was secretly surprised. She was transported here through time and she seldom met the eldest wife, so it was understandable that she couldn't remember the girl Yinhua.
Why is it that no one in the first house has thought of Yinhua these days?
Whether talking or doing things, he never mentioned Yinhua, as if this person didn't exist at all.
The same thing happened with Jinhua. She wanted to ask Lihua for help with her embroidery, but why didn't she ask Yinhua? Was it because Yinhua wasn't skilled enough, or was it because Jinhua couldn't bear to let her sister get involved?
Xia Daohua was full of questions as she watched Liu and the others bustling around Jinhua. Finally, she calmed down, sent Jinhua back to her room, and settled the Dai family members. Then the others went their separate ways.
Zhu was about to go to the kitchen to wash the medicine bowl that Jinhua had used. Xia Daohua grabbed Zhu's sleeve and said, "Sister-in-law, why haven't you seen Yinhua these days?"
Zhu was obviously stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yinhua was taken in by her aunt."
She noticed Xia Daohua still had questions, so she glanced around and whispered in her ear, "Speaking of your great aunt Yinhua, she's your eldest aunt's aunt. They've only been around again in the past few years. She chose Yinhua for her third grandson, so she often brings her to stay with her so the two little ones can get acquainted with her beforehand."
Xia Daohua felt that this practice was a bit strange.
Although in the Great Chu Dynasty, marriages were based on "parents' orders and matchmaker's words", grandparents were not left out and not mentioned at all.
Xia Youcai and Liu really don’t take the old couple seriously?
The old couple knew about Dalang's wife, but at that time, the family had not yet been divided, so the old couple was more biased towards the eldest wife and gave her a lot of money.
Now that the family has split up, the first thing to do is to plan Jinhua’s marriage. The wedding date has already been set before the old couple was given the “good news”.
As for Yinhua, she hasn't decided anything yet, but she has the intention to send her child to live with someone else. Even though they are relatives, it seems a little inappropriate, doesn't it?
What's more, the eldest wife didn't seem to have mentioned this matter to the old couple at all...
